چکیده انگلیسی
The purpose of this study was to investigate Achilles tendon (AT) length changes during a series of tasks that involved combinations of higher/lower force, and larger/smaller length changes of the medial gastrocnemius muscle-tendon unit (MTU). We sought to determine if common ultrasound-based estimates of AT length change were consistent with expectations for a passive elastic tendon acting in series with a muscle. We tested 8 healthy individuals during restricted joint calf contractions (high force, low displacement), ankle dorsi-/plantar-flexion (DF/PF) with the foot in the air (low force, high displacement), and heel raises (high force, high displacement). We experimentally estimated AT length change using two ultrasound methods, one based on muscle-tendon junction (MTJ) tracking and one based on muscle fascicle (MF) tracking. Estimates of AT length change were consistent with model expectations during restricted calf contractions, when the MTU underwent minimal length change. However, estimates of AT length changes were inconsistent with model expectations during the ankle DF/PF and heel raise tasks. Specifically, the AT was estimated to shorten substantially, often 10-20â¯mm, when the ankle plantarflexed beyond neutral position, despite loading conditions in which a passive, stiff spring would be expected to either lengthen (under increasing force) or maintain its length (under low force). These unexpected findings suggest the need for improvements in how we conceptually model and/or experimentally estimate MTU dynamics in vivo during motion analysis studies, particularly when the ankle plantarflexes beyond neutral.
